this will bring out an entirely new
line OF evidence, and come of the pos

CLEVELAND FUR ROBBERS,
THE MURBERERS OF OFFICER
MILLIGAN, CAPTURED
In Georgia, Where They Have Been
Carrying on Systematic Series
OF Burglaries

CHICAGO, ILL, April Ia special
from Atlanta, GA, says: The recent
burglaries which have created such q
sensation throughout the State, turn
out to have been engineered by the
notorious fur robbers, who first came
into notice in Cleveland, Ohio, lest
Janulry, and who subseqently muir
derad Officer Milligsn on the train
near Havana, in that Slate. One of
the burglars, Pat Ha ley, is in Hal
county jail desperately wounded,
while another is confned in Worth
county jail in the ssms condition.
About March LIST six strange men
visited Atlanta, where they were at
once Swallowed by the police. They
soon percsived they were watched and
disappeared, no one knew where. A
week later q systematic series of bur.
glaries began in two directions.
Within TIRES weeks dtzs different
towns were visited and plundered.
The sum total of the money secured
is thought to be over $50 900 The
men worked in two gapgs. Finally, in
an sftray at Harmony Grove, Hanley
was shot and captured. He has said
he would plead guilty when his
case was called. The photograph of
Hsnley has been sent to ]. w. Schmitt,
Superintendent of Police at Cleveland,
o. Toe Q is no doubt about his being
one Of the men, and that the other
three are Charles Morgan, Billy Hard
ingtoD, and Matthew Kennedy. Last
week the Sherffs of three counties
organized party to hunt down the
other gang. Coming ~ on the burg.
glars at Baconton they had battle, in
which Sheriff Hurst was severely
wounded, as was one of the burglar.
The news Is that the wounded burg ar
was run down in Worth county, and
is now in jail in that place. There are
men here from Ohio conversant with
the history of the gang, who are posi-.
tive that they are the fur robbers.

and was leading an honest life. Ev-
erything considered he was unwilling
to call the case for trial a! this late
day.
Recorder Smyth was not 80 willing
to dismiss the matter. He said that
there was no evidence that Lawyer
Hart was acting with Kissane's con-
sent, and intimated that he would re.
quire assurances on this point before
taking action. A telegram from the
principal in the case would not be suf-
fc.ent. The psrties then left court.
KIssANE's IDENTITY KNOWN.
ST LOUIS, Mo-, April IA special
to the Post Dispatch from San Fran
cisco says, concerning the Kissane
sensation: His identity is said to be
kHown to teveral newspaper proprie-
tors, aud it lie legged that an agree
ment has been made not TO publish
the name OF the suspected man. Some
OF the most prominent papers make
no mention of the story at all, Though
the matter is q general subject of con-
versalion and much surprise. 1t is
urged that many men here,have some
thing in their past records that would
not bear the light Of day, &C d 30 Kis-
sane has right to be protected. The
assertion is made that the man is a
resident Of Oakland and a well known
lawyer engaged in business here.
Some of his ass GATES have known for
years that he was living uuder an as
sumed name.

The stomach Dtsti,s Acids

These, if existent in a natural quantitv,
and unvitiated by P,play their part in the
functions of digestion and assimilation. Blu,
the artificial acid resulting from the inabili.
ty of the stomach to convert food received by
1t into sustenance, is the producer Of Aatu-
ence and heartburn, which are the most
harassing symptoms of dyspepsia. The
best carninative is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Far more effective is 1t than carbonate
of soda, magnesia or other alkaline salts.
These invariably weaken the stomach with
out producing permanent benefit. No man

How Matters Look at WashingtOn-Dor-
shsimer's Views.
WASHINGTON, November 20.-The
Democratic caucus for nomination of
officers of the House will meet in two
weeks from tonight, and many members
of Congress are already in town. Not
withstanding the interest lags. The ques-
tion of organization is not rs warm as
usual. Mr.. Carlisle seems to be "tabbed"
for the Speake,sbip, General Clark for the
Clerkship, Mr.. Leedom for his old position
of Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr.. Dalton for Post
master, &c.
The only dispute of moment is as to who
shall he DoOr-keeper, position command
ing salary Of $1,000 per annum and hay-
ing more patronage than any other Office
at the House end of the Capitol. sam
DoGelsoD, OF Tennessee, is candidate for
reelection, but Nichols, of Texas, Walker,
OF Minnesota, Hurt, of Mississippi, Bar
rett. of New York, and Reeder, of Penn
sylvania, are also candidates.
The Honse officers are generally pretty
hard TO heat for reelection if their party
keeps in power. They are usually very
sclid with the re elected members, and the
new Representatives are influenced largely
by what their experienced brethren sug-
ce,t and advise. Donelson appears 10
have been picked out as the man who can
ne oYerthrowD, Notwithstanding the oppor-
tunitieS he has had 10 establish himself in
the favor OF old members. Those opposed
TO him would, however, accomplish more
if they would concentrate on one man.
Their scattering among half dozen can
didates may be DonelSon's salvation. II
is not probable, though, that the country
is working itself into q perspiration over
the DOorkeepership.
The appointment Of the committees is n
matter OF much gTaver consideration, but
even the gossip about that will not be
ready for some time to come. Mr.. Car
Isle Is, 10 doubt, revolving the question
in his brain now, but he will have TO ad-
Just himself TO the circumstances as they
come, and the statesmen will probably
have their Christmas stockings filled be-
fore they know their respective assign
ments to Legislative labor.
The people are still paying unnecessary
taxes aud the surplus is increasing, and
the unanimous opinion is that Congress
should take hold of the revenue question
at once and adjust it with the greatest
speed consistent with safety, but all the
same nothing can be done till after the ap-
pointment Of the committees, and that is
usually the work Of n fortnight after the
meeting of Congress.
Governor Dorsheimer, editor Of the New
York Star, is in the city. Touching the
late election in New York, he says the cri-
sis was passed the moment Sieoll went
over so the Republicans fos a nomination.
He also says that Cleveland will carry New
York next year, and speaks favorably OF
an Indiana man for Vice President. He
thinks Blaine can have the Republican
nomination if he wants it. and is opposed
to the government taking charge OF the
telegraph.

4 BIG BOYCOTT
To be Put in Force Against the Lehigh
Railroad Companf.

To be Put in Force Against the Lehigh
Railroad CompsnT.
SCRANTON, November 2O.-General
Master Workman POwderly visited the
Wyoming and Lackawanua coal regions
this week, and leading Knight Of Labor
said to-day that all the corporations that
are favoring Pardee & Co., Coke Brothers
4 Co. and George b. Markle & Co. against
the miners that are on strike in the Halle
ton and Lehigh districts. would be boycott
ted right away. The Lackawapna aud
Wyoming operators that are now filling
the coal orders thai the above firms have
taken in advance will be asked not to fill
any more, and are to be Systematically
boycotted il they continue to load cars for
the Lehigh operators, as they have been
doing for several weeks
Panther Creek Valley, which is part of
the district where the big strike is in pro-
gress, is mostly owned by the Lehigh Val.
ley Railroad Company and the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company. 1t is alleged
that these companies are not fighting
against the men directly, but against the
order of the Knights of Labor, and they
are therefore to be boycotted with a veng-
eance from this time on. First, business
men all along the line, from PittstOn TO
POttsville, will be requested not TO have
any more goods shipped over the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. Some Of the merchants,
the Knights of Labor said, had already
promised to have their goods shipped on
other lines. Those merchants who con-
tinue to patronize the Lehigh Valley Rail
road are to be boycotted by the working
men.
Hundreds Of striking miners have come
TO this region from the HazeltOn district
and are now working here, and the Knights
of Labor say that the firms for which these
men formerly worked have asked the OPP
orators here TO discharge them. but none
of them has done so, as they all appear to
want to mine all the coal they can while
the demand remains brisk. The Knights
said that the concerns in the Lehigh re-
giOn had done everything to crush the
strikers, even going so far as to evict their
families, and the matter had now reached
point when it became necessary for the
Knights TO retaliate in every possible man
uer. They had been driven into it. he said.
and they were now going to put the i'm
mense power of the order against those
who had forced them to the wall.
The terrible force of the boycott would
first be brought against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, its ally, the Lehigb
Coal and Navigation Company, Geo. b
Markle x Co, Coke Brothers q Co., and
Pardee & Co, and eventually against any
other operator and corporation that was
found TO he IN league with them in any
shape or manner. In this way, he said,
the Knights would, beyond a doubt, soon
bring the corporations to terms. 1t is the
opinion here that the General Executive
Board Of the Knights Of Labor has, after
several weeks of deliberation, finally
given it's consent to a boycott on an un-
usually extensive scale, and that arhitra-
tiOn between the operators and $4,000
strikers has come to naught.
